Re: can i play the sims 3 or 4 with these specs?

@faith08201222  The base game and some lesser demanding expansion packs may play. The integrated Intel HD Graphics 3000 is weak for 3D graphics. There is no "real" dedicated video memory. This memory is borrowed from main memory. While the 4Gb of main memory is ok and may run the game, today the minimum memory for a gaming computer is 8Gb. This will allow the 64 bit operating system to run the video memory and bios image in high memory leaving low memory (below 4Gb) for applications. There have been reports of issues with more demanding packs like Sims 3 PETS and Sims 4 C&D with the Intel HD Graphics 3000. Any of the expansion packs that require heavy video demands may not run correctly.
